Description
NGC 1860-O MS 65. As anyone who is remotely aware of 19th century type coins knows, the 1860-O dollar is the most common date available in mint state in the entire series. Several bags of this date surfaced in 1962, and since that time it has remained the most available (and usually most attractive) Seated dollar in lower uncirculated grades. But it must be understood that it is only in these lesser grades that the '60-O is a common issue. As a gem, it ranks among several other dates in condition rarity, and, in fact, is rarer than at least three dates in this lofty grade: the 1854, 1861, and 1864. This is a stunningly beautiful coin. It resembles all other mint state '60-O dollars with its bright, frosted surfaces, but here the similarities end. What it lacks are the numerous, and oftentimes distractingly large, bagmarks seen on most dollars of this issue created by residing a century in a mint sewn bag. There are a few small, inconsequential marks on each side, but the only flaw that deserves individual mention is a mint-made planchet lamination through AM in AMERICA. While primarily a brilliant coin, the fields are touched with just the slightest hint of light golden color, but this really does little to alter the perception of this dazzling coin as brilliant. Of singular importance to the date or type collector.
